Brinly DT-48 BH Dethatcher - Manual (Page 9)

L-1763-E 9.
OPERATION
Tine ACTION- Grass should be less than 3" tall for proper
tine action.
When in use, all tines on the De-thatcher should deflect
back and "flip" the thatch forward as shown in Fig. 6.
If the tines seem to drag without flipping forward, the tine
tray is too low and should be raised.
If all the tines stay in the free position, the tray should be
lowered.
Make adjustments as necessary, up or down, by no more
than 1/4" each time, until proper results are achieved.
MAINTENANCE
The key to years of trouble-free service is to keep your
Sweeper clean and dry.
Occasionally check all moving parts for free movement and,
if necessary, lubricate with oil.
Should rust develop, sand lightly and then paint area with
enamel.
Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
